@SaltyGoat17 @GavinNewsom He sure seems to worry about every state but one...

@GavinNewsom Activist Federal judge overturned in 3... 2... 1...

My dad retired at 59
I will not
He had a pension. I have a 401k I can barely fund.
He bought his house at 28.
I can't touch a down payment at 30.
He paid $90 a month for health insurance. I pay $430.
At dinner he told me I need to be smarter with money.
I nodded.
Didn't tell him his entire life was built on an economy that no longer exists.
Didn't tell him my generation is paying for his Social Security while ours gets gutted.
Didn't tell him the ladder he climbed got pulled up right after him.
Just passed the potatoes.
Make it make sense

@KarenBassLA @SamuelLJackson Well, it is a slightly better endorsement than Maxine...
English

Honored to have the endorsement of my dear friend, @SamuelLJackson
Sam has always shown up for the people and causes he believes in - and I am grateful he is showing up for Los Angeles.
We’re aligned on the change I’m working to bring to L.A. That means getting more people off the streets into housing and connected with comprehensive services. It means more affordable housing units being built. And it means continuing to lower crime down to historic lows.

My colleague and I left $20 on a $309 bill at a Michelin star restaurant last night, and the waitress looked at us like we’d just insulted her grandmother.We split it—$10 from me, $10 from her. The service was fine, nothing exceptional but nothing wrong either. Just standard polite service at a place where the cheapest appetizer was $24. When she picked up the check folder, she opened it right there at the table, saw the two tens, and her face actually dropped. She snapped it shut, forced a smile, and walked away without saying goodbye.We were barely out the door when I heard her telling the hostess something that ended with “…can’t believe it.”I know Michelin spots usually expect 20%, but we’re talking $60+ on food that was good but not life-changing. Am I wrong for thinking the tip should match the service, not just the prestige of the address? Or was I supposed to empty my wallet just because they got a fancy plaque from some committee?

@AntiLeftMemes They are welcome to come ahead.
I sure hope they bring their little sticks.
They do realize we are still armed, don't they?

I'm a community organizer and coalition builder at heart – have been my whole life! So it means the world to me that so many local Democratic Clubs are backing my people-powered campaign. Sign up to volunteer during this final week of the primary campaign: mobilize.us/karenbass/

@GovTinaKotek I wish we had fair and honest elections so you could see what the people really think of you....

Isn't the literal destruction of a city by an incompetent mayor impeachable or worth a recall??? Seattle can't survive this!!!

DEVELOPING: 1,395 of the 8,000 Meta layoffs that were announced last week are within King County, WA. Over 30,000 teach jobs have been lost in the Seattle area since the beginning of the year. Yet Democrats continue to insist that there isnt capital flight

@NotTinaKotex She could eliminate property tax for seniors and they can stay in their homes.
English

This is how government controls you - by handing out aid that they control. And you can bet there are strings attached.
If this miserable excuse for a governor wants to help seniors she should reduce zoning barriers for smaller senior housing. Encourage cottages, duplexes and ADUs.
She could exempt part of a home’s value from taxation for lower income seniors.
She could lower system development charges. But no, she wants government built, government run rentals.
Her solutions are not long-term solutions. Most programs are funded by grants. Annual grants. What happens when the grants go away? No grant, no money, no program.

I announced four major housing actions that will expand affordable housing, support critical home repairs, and help older adults move into stable housing. oregonlive.com/business/2026/…
